Although there can be no doubt that the once lofty stature of the IVU in clinical urology has been gradually eroded by many forces, the study still retains an important place in urologic diagnosis. In spite of inroads made by CT, ultra-sonography, radionuclide scans, and other modalities, there is still diagnostic information that is best supplied by the IVU. It appears safe to say that the IVU will be with us for many years to come. Indeed, it seems fair to add that the practice of urology and uroradiology would be very difficult without it.
尽管毫无疑问，静脉尿路造影（IVU）在临床泌尿外科曾经的崇高地位已逐渐被多种因素削弱，但该检查在泌尿外科诊断中仍占据重要地位。尽管计算机断层扫描（CT）、超声检查、放射性核素扫描及其他检查方式取得了进展，但仍有一些诊断信息最适合由静脉尿路造影提供。可以肯定地说，静脉尿路造影在未来许多年仍将与我们相伴。事实上，可以公允地补充一点，即没有它，泌尿外科和泌尿放射学的实践将非常困难。
